The officer followed Demoss until he stopped again on Honeysuckle Drive where he ran on foot and was taken into custody behind a residence, according to the affidavit. While being booked into jail just before 1 a.m. Monday, Demoss was found to be in possession of two Oxycodone tablets wrapped in plastic bags along with a digital scale, according to a separate affidavit. Demoss is charged with evading arrest while operating a motor vehicle and introduction of a controlled substance into a penal institution. He was issued a $40,000 bond.
